An engine start takes place when the after-running of the engine control unit is finished (about 20 minutes after
switching off the ignition).
Background: Background: Background: Background: The pressure in the gas tank drops in relation to the falling outside temperature. Below an outside
temperatures of 5C the evaporator therefore does not have enough gas.

Service info: LPG operation at low temperatures not possible (Euro 5) Release date:07-Feb-2013
At low outside temperatures the LPG operation is not automatically switched on.
At low outside temperatures the LPG operation cannot be manually switched on.
The customer statement can reproduced. At low outside temperatures the gas operation is intermittently not
possible.
The LPG system uses an evaporator to reduce the pressure and to convert liquid gas.
Depending on the LPG quality the pressure in the gas tank drops at low outside temperatures to as low as 0
bar. With this pressure the evaporator does not have sufficient gas. This leads to problems of the engine in
gas operation.

Criteria for the switch to the gas operation:
If the above temperatures are shown, the system works correctly. Explain the background to the customer.
Outside temperature > -15C
